Found out new ale hub opened here yesterday, micropub no 8. Long walk so stopped here on the way. Nine ales on! Heaven. But all so ordinary and £4.50 a pint. No dark or strong. Getting to be a pattern. Ramsgit tomorrow where they give you what you want. Within reason! Will we make the new micro with such an attractive beer selection here? Lol.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| St Austell - Proper Job | 4.50 | | Warm. Totally uninteresting. Lady had to pull off some of each beer to see what colour it was! |
| Hop Back - Taiphoon | 4.20 | | Warm as toast. No flavour. But drinkable. Lynnes description not mine. Sad. Pub smells of food. |

Well worth the stomp to the far end of town for a good selection of ales in a comfortable and welcoming proper pub atmosphere although the food emphasis was noticable with faint smell of cooking oil wafting freely.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Castle Rock - Elsie Mo | 4.70 | | A blend of First Gold, Aurora and Bobek hops give the beer its delicate citrus aroma and floral taste. |
| Hop Back - Spring Zing | 4.20 | | Pale gold, light bodied with a dry hoppiness balances fruity sweetness. Long aftertaste. |
| Oakham - Inferno | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Downton - Honey Blonde | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
| Great Newsome - Sleck Dust | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Potbelly - Scrumdown | 3.80 | Not Tried | |

There was fervent anticipation amongst the group on our way to this unknown to me much celebrated pub thus upon arrival I could see why. Many bemused fascinated locals made us feel most welcome aided by the jovial and efficient bar staff.

Late Saturday evening. Busy and loud. Several other beers were available.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tiny Rebel - The Big Kahuna | 5.20 | | Tasty murk. |
| Saltaire - Marmalade Sky | 4.40 | | Almost to my surprise, I find that this tastes of marmalade. |
| Pheasantry - Munich Helles | 4.80 | | Truely horrible. I cannot believe it was intended to taste like this. |

My New Year’s resolution to keep out of pubs was going well until around 12:15 when I saw this place and became their third customer of the year. Glad I did go in, it’s a great pub. I don’t think I quite noted the full range of beers available.
